[Sebastien Petit]

Sorry for the mistake, the compiler utility for hpf is at
http://www.phear.org/~spe and not http://www.phear.org/

Regards,
Sebastien.

> Hi,

> Here you can found patch for using High Performance Firewall under

> turboACL like implementation so the kernel code is very very little.
> Actually, hpf recognize some ipfw syntax but an ipfilter parser can be

options

> hpfctl utility needed for compiling rules is available at
> http://www.phear.org/. Rules are placed on a file called hpfctl.conf on
the

> glib12 is needed.
> Is someone here can test it or bench it with high packet troughput, let me
> know.
